You're comfortable with installing FF locally? When installed as root,
but run as non-root, it will not automatically update the existing version.
FF can be configured to not check automatically for updates.
The GWT plugin can be installed on a non-root basis.
If the above doesn't float your boat, consider using
update-alternatives
(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/update-alternatives.8.html)
to manage two versions: latest and a lagging development version.

There are some technical issues w/r/t to Chrome speed matching FF. There
are several threads in this group discussing the issue. The gist is that
the Chrome devs have to implement some features.
